Fuchstanz: The Forest Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

With this highlight I mean the better of the two restaurants on the Fuchstanz: "Fuchstanz - das Waldgasthaus". There are, for example, very tasty tarte flambées, as well as decent salads. The price-performance ratio is okay for me. Payment is made in cash. The restaurant also runs a kiosk with a beer garden opposite the edge of the forest. There is, among other things, pea soup with sausages and it is THE biker meeting point in the Taunus. From the large crossroads directly at the Fuchstanz, paths lead to the Altkönig, Sandplacken, to the “big curve” and up to the Feldberg and down to Falkenstein and Königstein. A large overview map is located to the left of the kiosk.

Attention: Mondays and Tuesdays are closed!

Forest restaurant Fuchstanz

Highlight • Restaurant

Actually THE place to stop off on the way to or coming from the Großer Feldberg and the Altkönig. Always full, very popular with hikers and bikers! Also managed in winter.

Telecommunications Tower

Highlight • Monument

The most striking structure on the plateau of the Großer Feldberg is the 69.13 meter high television tower. The building was started in 1937 by the then Reichspost and completed in 1939. Since the transmission tower was used for war purposes, it fell victim to bombing raids on March 8, 1945. The reconstruction of the current building began in 1950. From 1953 onwards, Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk television was broadcast from here. Television and radio programs are still broadcast from here today - although the technology has changed several times. The tower is operated by the Telekom subsidiary T-Systems. The building has been a listed building since 1987.

Großer Feldberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Große Feldberg is not only the highest peak of the Taunus, but of the entire Rhenish Slate Mountains. The information about its exact height varies between 879 and 881 meters. The summit is extremely popular with day trippers from the Rhine-Main plain. Not only motorcyclists, racing cyclists and mountain bikers meet here on weekends, but also many motorists. It can get really crowded at peak times. Fortunately, the summit plateau is quite large. In addition to the television tower and transmission mast of the Hessian Broadcasting Corporation, there is a restaurant, two kiosks, a hiking home with an observation tower and a falconry. The most beautiful view is from the Brunhildis rock on the northern edge of the plateau. Various hiking trails lead over the summit. After all, the Taunus Club was founded up here and even Goethe liked to hike in the Taunus. There are plenty of trails for mountain bikers, including the official flow trail over the Fuchstanz to Hohemark. Racing cyclists particularly appreciate the twelve-kilometer ascent from Oberursel because of its length. The road from Schmitten is less busy, but also offers fewer vertical meters in one go. The Feldberg is by far not the most beautiful peak in the Taunus, but is definitely part of a tour in the Taunus because of its height and easy accessibility.

View of the Rhine-Main Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

It should have been called "Top View" 🙂, but that can't be changed anymore.
Unfortunately, many trees had to be cut down here, but now you have a fantastic view of the Rhine-Main area.

Urselbach Footbridge near Hohemark

Highlight • Bridge

Since there are still signs everywhere that the path is closed, now the information is open 😎. So signs are wrong 😑 and you can walk over a smaller piece of the bridge. Now that it's dry, possible today 3/25/22. When it rains a lot it can look different. But there is the alternative route that we walked to. In this sense, have fun 😉 in the Taunus 😁

Taunus Information Center

Highlight • Rest Area

The Taunus Information Center in Oberursel an der Hohemark is the ideal starting point for your hikes. In the building there is an interesting exhibition on the nature park, a place to stop off and a tourist information point. Thanks to the connection to the S-Bahn and U-Bahn network, you can arrive relaxed from Frankfurt and immerse yourself in the beautiful nature of the Taunus.
